Lords amendment: No. 11, in page 6, leave out lines 33 to 35 and insert:
by any statutory undertakers or other authority".
§ Mr. Guy BarnettI beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
This is a Government amendment moved in the Lords to correct what now appears to be a slightly misleading piece of drafting in subsection (3) of clause 8. In making specific reference to one type of authority in Scotland, the subsection appears to exclude from the scope of the clause statutory undertakers in Scotland. This is not, of course, the intention and the amendment was intended to simplify the wording and make this clear.
§ Question put and agreed to.
§ Lords amendments nos. 12 and 13 agreed to.
